Okay, it is clear for those of you that have visited the farm’s blog before that I am playing around with the design. I have always designed our farm’s website and my friend Anna designed the blog for me. Last summer I switched from a pc to a new mac computer and well…my web designing days are behind me until I learn a new system and how to design without my old faithful frontage program to do the hard work for me. I thought iweb would be the ticket but Apple thought better and took it off the market…something about they don’t make any money with people designing their own website…whatever:) Anyway I am leaning toward bring the farm’s website and blog together on a WordPress platform making it easier for me to keep the site current and updated even when I travel. Which was a big draw-back with the website being a HTML only site anyway. To update and change the site you have to go into the whole site…and times have changed. So I have two choices and I intend on using them both. Hire a good WordPress designer…and work along side them designing the new site. I don’t like not having ….here we go the magic word “control” or knowledge when it comes to designing our new site. If I want to change something I want to know how to do it myself. So please excuse our website mess for a while it will take some time to get everything up and running. The farm’s site is still as is..and will remain that way until we have the new site ready. This blog is my playground learning CSS coding and all that bah bah geeky talk. With that said it might be fun to check back and see the progress..or mess:)

WordPress is a good platform and I wish you the best of luck. You will do fine Peggy. My computer career enables me to dabble in this area and it can be quite fun. Many large companies, including the John Maxwell Team, use WordPress successfully. Looking forward to your progress on that learning curve
